Shooting guard Buddy Hield is unhappy with his role on the bench and may want out of Sacramento, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Sam Amick and Jason Jones. Hield has come off the bench since Bogdan Bogdanoviu0107 was swapped into the starting lineup on Jan. 24,
While Hield has performed well since the move, putting up a team-high 22.2 points on 52.6% shooting and a career-high 42-point game on Jan. 27, he reportedly believes he has a place as a starter in the NBA. The Kings have gone 6-3 with Hield on the bench, an improved showing after a 16-29 start to the season.
